Y = C + I + G

C = c0 +

i = {

Suppose that initially

c0 = 120

e = 0:02

x = 0:03

G = 150

{ = 0:05

(a) Find the equilibrium solution for Y; C and I:

(b) Suppose that the equilibrium value derived under (a) represents ífull

employmentí Now suppose that there is a shock to c0 and x: The

new values are c0 = 100 and x = 0:08: Derive the new equilibrium

solution for Y; C and I:

(c) Can full employment be restored using conventional monetary policy?

Explain.

(d) Can full employment be restored using Öscal policy? Explain.

(e) Can the initial equilibrium values for Y; C and I be restored using a

combination of monetary and Öscal policy? If so, explain how this

can be done.
